Not much to talk about

Well, it is summer and not a lot is new... but I am bored and wanting to blog but dont really have anything to blog about. So I will just start writing and see what comes.

Today was Sunday and it was Eddys first time to endure the 3 hour block and it was his first time in Nursery. He loved it and was super good at least until it was over, sacrament was a different story. He had no nap (i dont know why anyone would put themselves or their child through that kind of hell, life is so much better for everyone with a nap) I think we will just continue taking turns staying home with him while he sleeps from now on.

As for me, I am now 27 weeks along...I think, I could be 26. This pregnancy is going by much faster probably because I want it to go by slower. Im a little sad about Eddy not being the baby anymore, especially when he is still so little. I am due September 7 and am anticipating a natural and vaginal birth. (Sorry, gross word I know) I am really going to try to prepare myself for either outcome but hoping I will not have to do a C Section. In either case I will do what is best for the baby. We are having a girl and are still debating on the name. Here are our options so far:
Lauren Stone Switzer (my favorite today)
Lula Belle Switzer (my grandmas name/everybody else's favorite)
Ruby Elizabeth Switzer (dannys favorite)
Naming a human is very difficult for me. I really want to have a name NOW and just be able to tell everyone what her name is. So, feel free to tell me your favorite or to offer any new names. I am very open.
Meanwhile this pregnancy seems to be much easier than my last one. My only problem right now is that my butt and belly are so big that my lower back wants to snap..its not strong enough to carry either side of my body let alone both! (and Im only going to get bigger) I had a trainer show me some exercises to strengthen the area but it still hurts most of the time. I think I have a nerve there that is being pinched all damn day. Other than that, Im really trying to enjoy pregnancy. It is a wonderful time in life that does not last very long and who knows how many more times if any that I will get to experience it?
I am into my 3rd trimester right now and it is very apparent. Im am irritated by everything that does not matter at all, including but not limited to: my neighbors mowing their lawn, the sound of people chewing, when someone says "hu?", trying to get dressed, and lots of other REALLY stupid things. Sorry Danny...I know I suck right now. Im really am trying but these dang hormones could kill someone.
So anyway, that is what is going on with me right now. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, I got my hair cut and I love it! (that doesnt happen very often, especially when Im pregnant)
So I guess that was a lot to talk about. Life is good, I love love love this weather and wish it could stay this way forever. I am really happy right now, seriously, there is a lot of crap going on right now economically and it can be a lot to deal with but honestly, life is still good. I have great friends, an amazing family, a wonderful home (for now), and so much more. Do I sound like one of those mushy mormon bloggers? Sorry, maybe this will help...Life is Bitchin' and so is your mom. But seriously, I dont always feel like this so Im just trying to embrace it and now Im done. PEACE OUT.

Whats new

Well it has been a super fun weekend full of

1. work

2. Eddy eating a giant queen dead bumble bee

3. Swimming

4. Yard work

5. Eddy learning to climb onto the table

6. Me beating Danny at scrabble (the bet was for the name for our baby) I want a name that he doesnt like, but I won it fair and square!

Ode to Moose

Warning: This post is sad and mushy and about a dog.

So, you animal haters out there dont bother reading.

So this post is basically for me to work through the greiving process and express my feelings about my puppy Moose. We let Moose go live with a new family so they could enjoy the wonderful happiness that our pup brings. This family contacted us about 6 months ago to see if we would ever be interrested in giving our pup to them. At the time we said "no" but as time went on we realized the difficulties that would be presented with new baby, Eddy, and taking care of our Moose in our little home. He has, needless to say, been more neglected since Eddy has been here. He spends a lot of time in the wash room since his hair is not my favorite thing to have around the house, especially since Eddy is allergic to him. So as the months went on we decided that giving him away would be the best choice.
Moose gets to live in Bountiful with a wonderful family of 6. He gets a fenced yard and a doggie door, he also gets to live with a cat which I think he will really enjoy. He will get a lot of love and attention.

I cry when I think about it, I love Moose, we had him for over 4 years, and it has been hard to let go. He became a part of our family. I know when the new baby gets here I will have no regrets but as for now I am still greiving. I miss him.

I love you Moose. You were the best dog I could have asked for. I wanted you for 2 years and Danny always said No! But then you were brought to our house and when Danny saw how wonderful you were he couldnt resist. You were a great running partner, protector, and friend. We will all miss you so much but we are glad you wont be peeing on the corner of our bed anymore (he tried to be the dominant male) SICK!
Thanks for all the memories pup.

Sunday

My sister gave Eddy a buch of clothes that included a blazer and church shoes.

He looked so cute for church today.
Thanks Rach!




Eddy also likes to hold his monkeys hand when he sleeps.
